Report of the Town Clerk.

The Committee received a Report of the Town Clerk which advised Members of the key discussions which had taken place during recent meetings of the Committee’s Sub-Committees.

The Chairman of the Digital Services Sub-Committee informed Members that provision of IT equipment would be changing; the Sub had concluded that it made sense to move Apple I Phones to a corporately maintained ID as opposed to individual IDs, this will require changes but Members and officers shouldn’t see a reduction in functionality.

Members were also informed that I Pads were being phased out for Microsoft Surface devices. This was a sensible step to streamline our IT estate to fewer operating systems. I Phones would still be provided, but it was pointed that phones posed less of a security issue than I Pads.

RESOLVED – that the Committee noted the report.
